For a 6-800lb tongue weight, just lose the wdh if it's too heavy to pick up.
I wouldn't think twice about putting that much on the back of any decent half ton with a little suspension help.
Seems plausible. My snowmachine trailer has that much tongue weight and I tow it over mtns thru snowstorms. Never considered a wdh for it. It's basically a 32' long camper.
That's terrible advice. Most 1/2 ton trucks only have Class 3 hitches which are only rated for 5-600lbs max tongue weight without a WD hitch. Suspension help doesn't replace weight removed from the front steer axle.
Your snowmobile trailer may have similar tongue weights but your sig shows you have a 3/4 ton truck? Much different towing than a 1/2 ton and a higher class 4 rated hitch would be standard.
